Well, it was kind of hard not to bring in the clothes I was wearing, but I left the rest in the trunk of my car overnight, hoping that if there were any bugs there, they would go away without a host to feed off of (I read something like that). The next day I was doing my laundry at my Mom's so I tied up my blanket and pillow in a plastic bag and washed them there, checking very carefully for bugs the whole time. I was really worried about bringing them into her building, but we figured if they were still around, they could just as easily have gotten on my clothes in the car. So we were just very careful and inspected everything before, and then the plastic bag afterwards. The rest of the stuff, my clothes I wore the day before, my coat, ect. are still in the trunk for now. I'm going to order some mattress bags to put on my mattress, box springs, and futon mattress. Other than that I don't know what else to do. I'm still worried about bringing them to my Mom's, in retrospect, I guess I should have brought that stuff to a washateria, but it just seemed like the right thing to do at the time. What a mess this whole thing is.
